Synopsis
Life in a rock band may seem alluring to outside observers who've become familiar with stories of money, glamour, sex, and drugs. But, in Henry Rollins's memoir of five years on the road with seminal punk band Black Flag, it seems more like a war. The enemy varies: boredom, grueling all-night drives, and frequently the band's crowd, who seem expert in devising ever more excruciating forms of torture, from crotch-grabbing and the traditional showers of spittle to urine-filled beer glasses. Rollins kept a journal of his years in the punk-rock trenches, scrawling entries while hunched in smelly vans, where he alternately fantasized and vented his rage at the privations visited upon his band by its uncaring public. A mix of surreal reverie, violent musings, and mundane detail, GET IN THE VAN accurately mirrors the long periods of boredom punctuated by brief, hyper-real episodes of intense, often brutal activity, endured by Rollins and his fellow band members in their frequently evangelical-seeming mission to bring their message to the masses. Throughout, Rollins continually exposes his naked emotions; his talent lies in making the process compelling enough to keep his readers as viscerally involved as his live audience obviously is.
